1930s boots
1930s Red Wing tall brown leather lace up boots. Super narrow width and small size. Marked Red Wing at the top of the shaft. I think they’re even the original laces. Not sure if these are Mens or Womens.
Dolfin
The early step away from wool to modern nylon materials in the 1950s. Self-lined
WWII USN swimsuit
This is the most common suit you’ll run across.
Belted Lastex swimsuit
Lastex/ wool. Big star belt buckle. Moth damage.
Skipper 1930s / 1940s swim suit
Moths suck.
Nice ribbed wool and buttoned key pocket on this one.
Florsheim Spectator Shoes
Modern Florsheim leather and linen spectators. Not up to the quality standards of vintage Florsheims, but you could do worse than picking a pair up.
Red Western Shirt
This shirt is modern, but is a reproduction of flashy old styles. And unlike similar ’70s shirts which channeled similar ’40s shirts, this one isn’t made of nasty stiff polyester.
Patchwork
Crazy Quilt on Crazy Quilt. Someone (hippie? probably) put an old crazy quilt on the back of this vintage Lee Jelt denim jacket.
1930s Stetson Standard Quality
This 1930s Stetson is an interesting casual model, with a felt ribbon and triple stitched brim edge. The brown felt has a slightly fuzzy finish. It is “Standard Quality” felt, it is unlined, and it was sold by Hurds.
